What is TRUE about the Chupa Chups logo?

The Chupa Chups company started as an idea оf a Spanish citizen named Enric Bernat in 1958. Mr Bernat started his career at an apple jam factory. Не approached investors about a lollipop business but he failed to get support. He took over the company himself and built the first production machines with his own hands. He also decided that the new creation would be called Chupa Chups, after the Spanish verb chupar, which translates into to suck.

Enric Bernat knew that the bon-bons on a wooden stick would be an instant hit. Previously, candy had been marketed as a luxury and kept away from children. However, he knew that if he could get the candy into the view of children, he would sell many more lollipops. Five years after he first introduced the idea, the Chupa Chups were being sold at over 300,000 stores across Europe.

The original Chupa Chups sales force was over 600 sales agents for 300,000 locations. This amazing sales force sped across Spain to bring the good news and delicious taste of the Chupa Chups lollipops to the masses. Without their dedication and excitement, there would be no way that the company could have grown to the massive size that it is today

Sadly, the traditional wooden stick that was associated with the Chupa Chups had to be discontinued and replaced with a plastic one due to the lack of wood available in Spain. The stick has remained plastic ever since.

Chupa Chups were originally going to be called GOL but the name did not stick. An advertising firm came up with the idea to name them Chupa and the delightful lollipops were born. Salvador Dali, the famous painter, created the new Chupa Chups logo, which remains on the wrapper on all of the lollipops to this day.
